i've been "friends" with a bunch of ppl i dont like and i feel terriable about it. it's not that there bad or anything, they're just really preppy and that's not who i am. i completely change in front of other ppl, mainly to avoid conflict. and i don't know what to do. when i see certain ppl i act a certain way it's weird. like, this one day i was walking with someone from one clique of ppl and this person from another clique comes up and goes "wtf? your out with HER? she's a geek! shes a stairwell kid whatch u doin" then she starts bitchin at this poor kid who had the misfortune of standing next to me. i could have stood up for her i could have told that ass hole to fuck off, but nope i was a whimp i said "sorry" and walked away with the kid. i can't fathom why i apologized. i felt so shitty thinking about it. stuff like this has happend before. mainly because i don't have friends per-say but more like a bunch of people who don't like eachother that im nice to. man i hate being so passive anyway, sry for venting this, you didn't need to hear it but i needed to type it
nothing wrong with being friends with preppy people, or people who are unlike you in any way. the only problem i saw in your post was apologizing for being friends with someone. that is a bit of a bitch move on your part.
Stupid-ass high school cliques. I always hated that shit. Fuck what anyone says. Just hang out with the people you like to hang out with, and if some superficial bitches have problems with it, then they can suck a nut.
Shouldn't really be hanging around with people you don't like, and for the life of me I cannot understand why you are but I commend the fact you know better. Sometimes it's better to keep the peace, because had you said something, you may have brought unwarranted attention to you and the person they attacked. I stuck up for some kid in a pub once, and we are good friends now bless him, but after I had the bullies made it harder for him than had I not. End of the day, 99% of people are nob-jockeys.
